St. Thomas Episcopal Church Welcomes Families!
We at St. Thomas believe that young people play a crucial role in the larger family that is the body of Christ. We offer a variety of ministries to our younger congregants that aim to reach a range of developmental needs.

Book Cart
The St. Thomas Library has graciously provided a book cart for children who would rather stay in church with their parents during the service. The book cart is regularly stocked with books, stuffed animals, activity bags and weekly editions of The Sunday Paper , a children’s bulletin that follow the Revised Common Lectionary..

Nursery Care and Sunday School
We also offer a number of age-appropriate Sunday school and nursery care programs for people from very small to almost-grown up! Please see our Sunday School and Childcare page for more information

Youth
Our dynamic and wonderful Youth Group serves both Junior High and High School students. Youth Group meets monthly to plan upcoming activities. Recent activities have included bowling, car wash, and serving Shrove Sunday pancake breakfast..

Acolyte Guild
Our newly re-enstated Acolyte Guild is open to everyone ages 8 and up. Those interested in serving as Acolytes should email Rosemary Parker or talk to Linda Renner, Acolyte scheduler.
